Self Launching Sailplane Uses Jet Engine To Get Off The Ground

August 9th, 2010 link to (permalink)

Sailplanes are fun and all, but they are gliders at heart and for the most part, you have to tow a glider up into the sky before you can fly it. Obviously this is problematic since you have to hire a pilot with a plane to drag you up into the air, limiting the locations you can launch from.
